How to compare the games?
When finding difficulty in choosing the best game among several ones, you can just compare them, and then determine the game quality based on the different data.
As shown above, after you input 4 game names (Dragon's call, zOMG!, Lord of Ultima and Nindou) and click , the comparison among the 4 games will start. Check below for the corresponding contrast results!
From the contrast results, we can get a general idea about the games' quality, and can then know which game is more suitable.

The Club
Amanda sighed in exhaustion as she stepped out of her car. She never had fun at the university; everyone called her a nerd because of her glasses, and her only friend went to another school. Katrina was Amanda's best, and only, friend; the only day she didn't at least call Amanda was the first of the month. Since it was the first of the month Amanda was surprised to see Katrina at her door as she got out of her car. "Hi Katrina, I didn't expect to see you today." Amanda sa

iTunes 11 album art not showing
Is anyone else having issues with random cover art (for me, around 30-40% of my collection) not showing album art despite it being there in the Info window? The only way to get it to redisplay is to cut and paste the same cover image from the info option, after which the artwork shows again. It's quite odd. Otherwise, I am loving the iTunes 11 interface a great deal.

Yup, on both my iPhone 4 and iPad mini album art is missing and there is no rhyme or reason as to which album is missing and which isn't. This was a problem that's existed since ios5 and I was hoping it would have been corrected in iTunes 11.
It's just so frustrating and nowhere has there been mention of an actual fix. It's pathetic that this bug continues to exist with NO acknowledgement from Apple whatsoever. |

That's the odd thing. The album art appears without problem on my iPhone and iPad but not on my laptop even though they're embedded in the files still.

Same problem! Have a large library - over 30,000 albums so this is big deal! In my case each song has artwork embedded with it.
Slightly easier way I've found to correct rather than cut and repaste artwork back in is to go to each album missing the artwork and start playing it such that the artwork shows up top with the playing song. Then expand the album view and close after which it shows up in the grid view. Btw, tried cleaning the Album Cache out so it would rebuild. Made matters worse! |

Quick workaround
I too am experiencing this issue and I have a substantial library with perfectly sourced artwork.
One workaround I've found to restore the artwork is to 'Get Info' on the first track of an album and go to the 'Artwork' tab. You should see your artwork there and iTunes will immediately populate the grid view and all the other views with the correct artwork for that album. Kinda weird, but I hope this helps someone. Pro tip: Create a smart playlist where it only has tracks whose track number is 1. View the playlist in grid view, use the arrow keys to navigate to busted covers and then command+i to open info, (it will auto open to artwork after the first one), and then hit return. You can blaze through them pretty quickly that way. |

Itunes does not embed album art into each song. Itunes downloads the album art and puts it in a file called Album art. When you play the song in Itunes, it shows the album art along with the song. Itunes also does not transfer the album art to your Iphone or Ipad when you load the device up. If you want Album art embeded into a song file, you will have to find an app that embeds album art. If you embed album art into each song file, it will always show properly.

The fundamental thing to have artwork always showing is to embed the artwork to the music file so that the artwork can be transferred along with the music files. Tenorshare Music Cleanup comes in for help. It automatically finds artwork for all your songs in the iTunes library and then you can embed the artwork to every song, which enables the artwork to show up anywhere.

Sharing limitations hold e-books back from wider adoption, research group representatives say
August 26, 2011 | 8:15 pm
By Chris Meadows
On PaidContent, Laura Hazard Owen reports on some interesting findings from a Twitter discussion about e-book buyer behavior based on comments from book industry research organization representatives. The research reps suggest that limits on e-book sharing are limiting e-book adoption.
The reps point out that consumers really like reading free e-books (about half of e-book buyers read free e-books) and expect e-book prices to stay low or drop lower. Half of all e-readers are given as gifts, but less than 1% of e-books are.
Barriers to widespread e-book adoption are limits on sharing, borrowing and reselling. These issues need to be addressed before more jump on the e-book bandwagon, Bowker's Carl Kulo said. (Kindle library lending is on the way. You might see the ability to resell your e-books on Kindle roughly when hell freezes over.)
As I pointed out a few days ago, one of the drivers of casual "piracy" is readers' feeling that they should be able to "lend" books they've paid for to friends or family. But in order to do that, the would-be pirates have to be savvy enough to strip the DRM (which has gotten easier, but still requires some nontrivial technical knowledge). The inability to share e-books without having to do all that could be keeping people from buying.
Of course, as the article points out, publishers will probably do something about that "roughly when hell freezes over."
Do You Know How to Pirate?
Morning Links: Pretending piracy doesn't exist. Changing roles of bookstores and libraries
Morning Links: Illegal music file sharing virtually eliminated in Norway. Auditing media habits
Weekend Links: Don't blame readers for book devaluing. Oscar movie piracy
Cory Doctorow speaks on self-publishing, Amazon, DRM, Hachette, and a whole lot else besides
Format shift is another major factor in reluctance to buy many ebooks. When I upgraded from my Palm PDA to an iPhone, I discovered that Amazon had refused to license the Secure Mobipocket format for iOS. That meant I could no longer access hundreds of ebooks purchased in Secure Mobipocket format. Whenever I wanted to read one of those ebooks, I had to buy it again, in another format! I have over a thousand ebooks in Secure eReader format, now owned by B&N, who refuse to sell ebooks to Australians. I worry about no longer being able to read these purchased books on iOS, if B&N decide to stop updating the eReader app., or extends its geographical discrimination behaviour to previously-purchased books. I have several thousand ePub (no DRM) ebooks catalogued in Calibre, which I access on iPhone/iPad through the Stanza app. Amazon bought Stanza, and haven't responded to support requests for over a year. How much longer will Stanza work? This doesn't even go into all the different ePub DRMs I have had to purchase from different retailers (due to geolims reducing availability). They all identify as ePub, but you have to read them with different apps. Borders went under, and we're told we can shift our Borders DRM ePubs to Kobo. What happens when another retailer's ePub DRM is no longer supported? Sharing is important, but being able to read the ebooks you buy is even more so.
Sharing paper books (pBooks) is a common custom. The majority of serious readers, I suspect, are the graying baby-boomers who have the time to read and tend to resist any technology that does not benefit them directly. There is less desire to stay on the cutting edge just for the sake of being there. As the average avid-reader age continues to increase, resistance will remain until eBooks become universally readable on all devices and can be shared among family and friends as pBooks have been for decades.
This, too, shall pass. Eventually, the idea that sharing books is a "must" will disappear from the public mindset, and instead of regifting books to friends and family, people will just buy others gift cards. Horrors: People will have to spend money for gifts! And the more savvy people will just de-DRM their books and share them anyway.

At this point I am wondering if a lot of our fans even deserve a winner. It's one thing to go nuts on guys like Jacoby Jones and other guys who have never been a consistently good player, but the minute an entire offense plays awful and the QB here gets blasted as if he has stunk it up like David Carr did it just shows no real appreciation for what having a good QB is even like. Hell, you'd think we had Tom Brady for the last 10 years with what the expectations are for our current QB. And the worst part is that Schaub's limitations by his critics have been present for years, but some of his worst critics used to act like he was amazing. Shows what they know really, which isn't much.

The following table shows the Solaris LDAP client's profile attributes, which can be set automatically when you run idsconfig. See Initializing a Client Manually and the idsconfig(1M) man page for information on how to set a client profile manually.
Table 9–2 Client Profile Attributes
Attribute |
Description |
cn |
The profile name. The attribute has no default value. The value must be specified. |
preferredServerList |
The host addresses of the preferred servers is a space separated list of server addresses. (Do not use host names.) The servers in this list are tried in order before those in defaultServerList until a successful connection is made. This has no default value. At least one server must be specified in either preferredServerList or defaultServerList. |
defaultServerList |
The host addresses of the default servers is a space separated list of server addresses. (Do not use host names.) After the servers in preferredServerlist are tried, those default servers on the client's subnet are tried, followed by the remaining default servers, until a connection is made. At least one server must be specified in either preferredServerList or defaultServerList. The servers in this list are tried only after those on the preferred server list. This attribute has no default value. |
defaultSearchBase |
The DN relative to which to locate the well-known containers. There is no default for this value. However, this can be overridden for a given service by the serviceSearchDescriptor attribute. |
defaultSearchScope |
Defines the scope of a database search by a client. It can be overridden by the serviceSearchDescriptor attribute. The possible values are one or sub. The default value is a one level search. |
authenticationMethod |
Identifies the method of authentication used by the client. The default is none (anonymous). See Choosing Authentication Methods for more information. |
credentialLevel |
Identifies the type of credentials a client should use to authenticate. The choices are anonymous, proxy, or self (also known as per user). The default is anonymous. |
serviceSearchDescriptor |
Defines how and where a client should search for a naming database, for example, if the client should look in one or more points in the DIT. By default no SSDs are defined. |
serviceAuthenticationMethod |
Authentication method used by a client for the specified service. By default, no service authentication methods are defined. If a service does not have serviceAuthenticationMethod defined, it will default to the value of authenticationMethod. |

Adaptive flat multiresolution multiplexed computational imaging architecture utilizing micromirror arrays to steer subimager fields of view
Applied Optics, Vol. 45, Issue 13, pp. 2884-2892 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1397 KB)
A thin, agile multiresolution, computational imaging sensor architecture, termed PANOPTES (processing arrays of Nyguist-limited observations to produce a thin electro-optic sensor), which utilizes arrays of microelectromechanical mirrors to adaptively redirect the fields of view of multiple low-resolution subimagers, is described. An information theory-based algorithm adapts the system and restores the image. The modulation transfer function (MTF) effects of utilizing micromirror arrays to steering imaging systems are analyzed, and computational methods for combining data collected from systems with differing MTFs are presented.

The Tonganoxie City Council agreed Monday to fill a void in City Hall with an agreement to keep Mike Yanez on as city administrator until his replacement starts this spring.
The council voted 3-2 in August not to extend Yanez's contract as city administrator when it expired at the end of 2011. However late last month, Kathy Bard, who was to be interim city administrator with the start of the year, informed the council illness would prevent her for carrying on her duties and she was taking extended medical leave.
The council unanimously voted Monday to enter into a month-by-month contractual agreement with Yanez for interim city administrator. Yanez will be paid $6,500 per month for a minimum workweek of 30 hours. As a contractor, Yanez will receive no benefits.
The council had previously agreed to an $11,000 contract with Art Davis Group Inc. of Lee's Summit, Mo., to guide the city administrator search. On Monday, the council voted to cap the firm's expenses at $4,000. The firm presented a revised schedule for the search, which would have the new city administrator on the job April 30.
In a related matter, the council approved a pay adjustment for Mary Conway, who was appointed acting city clerk with Bard's medical leave. Conway will now receive $26.05 an hour.
In other business, the council:
• Agreed to set a special meeting with representatives of the Tonganoxie Chamber of Commerce, the retail development committee and community business people for 6 p.m. Jan. 24. Mayor Jason Ward requested the meeting to establish common goals and after hearing that some downtown business people were considering establishing a separate organization outside of the chamber.
"There's just no point in that," he said.
• Learned that Ward, Councilman Chris Donnelly, Yanez and city engineer Brian Kingsley would meet Thursday with Leavenworth County Administrator Patrick Hurley and other key county staffers to discuss the city's request the county assist in the extension of utilities and infrastructure to the undeveloped industrial park south of the city near Leavenworth County Road 1.

Everything Looks Worse at Night
The night before a week-long sports camp or long away-from-home trip, I'd feel panicky and pretty certain I didn't want to do fun things - I'd much rather stay home and not be brave. My mom would say, "Tomorrow, you'll be excited. Everything just seems worse at night."
As an adult, it's less about being scared of the night for me (although, I won't lie that I did not love being home alone at night when we lived in Boston, and Bart was traveling a lot) and more about how likely I am to feel overwhelmed or discouraged at night. At night, I'll think "I can't do ___________" or "How will I ever deal with _________?" but I recite to myself "Everything seems worse at night" and sure enough, by the next morning I usually feel well-rested enough that life seems much more manageable.
When I was pregnant, it was only in the late evenings, when I'd think "how can I possibly handle having a child? What have I gotten myself into?" And it's when I'm getting ready for bed that I think "How can I possibly get everything done tomorrow that has to be taken care of?" when the next morning, without fail, I may feel busy, but I don't feel buried under responsibilities.
Amusingly, a year or so ago, my sister Landen quoted this and after she'd left, Bart turned to me and said, "I do not like that saying. It just seems so negative to me." But I don't feel like it's negative at all - I feel more like it's acknowledging that things can seem frightening or overwhelming or just too difficult, but it's probably more the nighttime darkness and fatigue contributing to those feelings, rather than your own inadequacy or the problem itself. It's permission to not deal with something right now and to wait until you're a little better equipped to deal with an issue.
And you better believe I'll be saying it to my children (but. . . maybe only when Bart's not around).
22 comments:
I never decide to do or not do something at night. I wait till the next day to decide. I have found at night it seems near impossible so I'll tell myself not to do something (like go to the gym in the morning). But once morning comes I'm ready to go. I make no big decisions at night for that same reason!
ReplyDeleteSo, like Scarlett O'Hara's "After all...Tomorrow is another day" line? :D
I frequently tell Dave that I want to put an argument off until the next day. Sleep makes me feel better, so I will probably not want to argue about X the next day. Or if I do, my mind will work better, and I'll be able to convince him better!You know, I've heard that phrase not very often but it is SO TRUE. In fact, I'm really surprised it's not something my mom says because it sounds exactly like something she would say. (One of her common phrases is, "You can do anything for ___x amount of time___" and I'm always repeating it to myself. "I can do anything for a year!") I will be reminding myself of this too. I had a productive packing afternoon and now that it's night time I was starting to feel a little overwhelmed and discouraged about what's going on the next couple weeks. But I will remind myself that everything looks worse a night, go to bed, and wake up tomorrow and deal with it!
ReplyDeleteIf it is any comfort, you can tell Bart I agree with your mom. Many times things do seem overwhelming at night, but I know I will feel better in the morning. However, I would take it a step further. Just being tired at any time of day can make things seem overwhelming. That is why I have always told my kids they need to go to bed at a reasonable time. Staying up late just makes one tired the next day and much less able to cope. Lack of sleep is also why new mothers have a hard time, and why naps become quite essential. So I guess what I am saying is that it isn't really night that is the problem, but fatigue, and that adequate regular sleep is a big part of the answer. When I'm rested, the world is beautiful and almost anything seems possible.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Bart would be happier with "Everything looks better in the morning."
Why, yes, yes, I have been doing a lot of PR for work lately. I can put a positive spin on anything.I totally agree with this. I hate it when people give the wedding advice of "never go to bed angry." What?! Everything is worse at night! Just go to sleep, let off some steam while you snooze, and in the morning you'll totally forget what was bothering you the night before.
BTW, I'm obsessed with the Honest Company. I ordered one diaper bundle just to see what it was all about, and they sent the wrong size. I called them to inform them and they apologized about a million times, told me to keep the wrong size (since it was one size up I just put it in storage), and they were sending a new bundle with some cleaning products, PLUS refunding me $30. So I got 2 months' worth of diapers and a month's worth of wipes for $50 (which is a little less than what I'd pay on Amazon Mom). Then, I entered one of their FB contest thingies and won tons of cleaning/body products. I LOVE their products. Most especially their all purpose cleaner. Okay, I'm done gushing.Dear mommy would say this to me as well. And I think about it often, especially when my children's fevers are raging at 11:00pm. (Have you noticed that sickness is worse at night?)
This is why I love the line "There is sunshine is my soul today" so much. I sing it to myself often when night's gloom is pulling me down.

North Park Theological Seminary is the seminary of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC). Though ministers are not required to earn a degree from North Park, the ECC does require women and men seeking credentials (licensing, commissioning, or ordination) for ministry to complete a few courses to be oriented to the foundations and theology of the denomination. We offer a variety of ways to fulfill these orientation requirements, including master's degree programs and a certificate option.
A degree from North Park Theological Seminary may fulfill the entire orientation requirement for various levels of credentialing. Degree-seeking students planning to serve in the Evangelical Covenant Church must complete the following as part of their degree programs:
One academic year of study-in-residence (24-30 semester hours) at North Park Theological Seminary may also fulfill the Covenant Orientation requirement, as long as the following courses are included during a student's program as a whole:
Students completing 30 or more hours at North Park may transfer credits from another seminary toward a North Park Theological Seminary degree, or credits received during the year of orientation may be transferred to another seminary.
Those seeking Ordination to Word and Service who already hold a secular master's degree may complete their required 30 hours of theological study at North Park, simultaneously fulfilling their educational and orientation requirements. These students will also need to take the foundational courses for credentialing (listed below) and also demonstrate 13 semester hours in an area of specialization such as youth, camping, or leadership/administration.
In order to be credentialed by the ECC, a pastor needs a minimum of four specific graduate level courses in theological studies. North Park Theological Seminary offers a 12-credit certificate in foundational courses for credentialing candidates.
All matters regarding ordination, transfer of ordination, and licensure are the responsibility of the Evangelical Covenant Church's Ministerium and Board of the Ordered Ministry.

Rosary Markings
Year of the Rosary, October 2002 - October 2003
Click here for Spanish version
The Glorious Mysteries
This is the week of the Glorious Mysteries for, as John Paul II wrote, "The contemplation of Christ's face cannot stop at the image of the Crucified One. He is the Risen One." (Novo Millennio Ineunte, #28) We invite our readers to meditate upon the Glorious Mysteries with the help of a recently published booklet of meditation on the rosary by Sister M Jean Frisk, our dear and dynamic collaborator. Called The Rosary of Jesus and Mary (Pauline Books and Media, Boston 2003), this slim volume leads the reader through all the twenty mysteries of the rosary using Scripture and John Paul II's Rosary Encyclical with great effect. Drawing on the Pope's suggestions for the Rosary, the booklet also offers rosary basics for those who want to know more about the rosary and where it comes from. In sum, this handy little reader offers a fresh approach to a favorite prayer. This is particularly true for the engaging meditations at the end of each mystery. The following are a selection of excerpts from the Glorious Mysteries.
I. Jesus rises from the dead.
"Where were you, Mary, on Easter morning? And why are the Scriptures silent? Some saints say Jesus came first to you--an encounter so private it remains hidden like the thirty years you spent with him in Bethlehem, Egypt, Nazareth, Jerusalem, and Cana. So little is publicly known.
"So, did he come as I would hope a son of mine would? Or was it enough for you to know at Magdalene's word: He lives, Mary, he lives! So shall you, and so shall I--forever." (pp. 50-51)
II. Jesus ascends to the Father.
"Mary, can you make the immensity manageable? How can I relate to him now? Mary, what were your thoughts at the setting of the sun on that ascension day? Were you, like the others, filled with joy upon returning to Jerusalem (cf. Luke 24:50)? Let me walk with you in the evening of the day and wait with you for him at dawn--certain he will return." (pp. 53-54)
III. The Holy Spirit descends upon the early Church.
I remember the saying: the measure of our desire is the degree to which it will be fulfilled. Did you powerfully intercede and hunger for his coming? Was it like that wonderful overshadowing some thirty-three years before? Was his presence in the room again--in the wind and flame, cloud and light, blessing hands and hovering dove, the water, the anointing, and the seal--never, ever to leave his people again?
"Look out from the upper room with me, Mary, and see the dancing hearts of the new three thousand." (cf. Acts 2:41) Take me with you to "the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." (Acts 2:42) (pp. 56-57)
IV. Mary is taken to Heaven body and soul.
"The beads slip by and I ask you again and again to pray for me at my dying. Will he come for me as he did for you? Will he present me to the Father, face to face, and will you be there? Will the Spirit purify the fire in my soul into a love transformed to resemble you, full of grace? Will it be the same for all those for whom I pray? This is my hope." (p. 60)
V. Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and earth.
"Mary, it's time to celebrate, to shake off anxiety, and to prepare the festival. The King leads his queen mother to his throne! Our humanness is free and oh, so beautiful in you!
"And when we crown you, Mary, in the traditions of our cultures we use things of the earth--violets, roses, and filigree; gems, silver, and gold--to praise you, for you brought him to dance here with us for a time. And you crown us in return. We, too, share the throne and your nobility--love for love, crown for crown! That is our destiny. The dance whirls on and on--to thank you, to love him, and to look forward to the crown he has waiting for each one of us." (pp. 64-65)

Heathcote police were called to an incident in the small town of Axedale, in central Victoria about 12.30pm AEST yesterday, where they used capsicum spray to subdue the 12-year-old boy and took him into custody.
Today Victoria Police said in a statement the boy was "acting in a threatening manner towards police and a family member" and "capsicum spray was deployed as a last resort to subdue the boy".
They would not say if he had a weapon.

Do you love to hate pop culture? See an ad, music video or viral video and think it would be so much better with one simple subversive tweak? This day-long workshop will cover the basics of mash up-video making and pop culture hacking. Participants will debate what makes a good mash up, make their own and upload the results to the web. And a course in mashing up media would be irresponsible if it didn't include a lesson on the ins-and-outs of fair use and copyright as it applies to creative works on YouTube! Come hack pop culture with us!
Andrew Demirjian's Eyebeam Residency project, Scenes from Last Week Lex/47, at Roger Smith Hotel.
"6 collages of the exact same size were created to approximate the size of an HD video screen. The 6 collages when played frame by frame create a chaotic 6-frame animation. HD video is juxtaposed with collage in an attempt to reconcile the difference between images "trapped" behind a screen and those "frozen forever" as still images. In today's image landscape traditional distinctions between moving and static, linear and non-linear no longer apply. Perhaps one of the only enduring distinction is the separation between images on and off screen. The resulting diptych evokes a disorienting head-space within which our subject, a young girl in a skull mask, stares at herself in a mirror, attempting to come to terms with the impossible gap between original and copy, or self and self-image. "
This piece was included in the exhibit "Disorder Disorder: Ulterior Motives in Contemporary Art" in Penrith, Australia in 2010 and was used for the cover of the catalogue:
In the summer of 2010, we asked artists and curators worldwide to record themselves responding and commenting on the following questions:
What are or should be the taboos honored by cultural institutions? Why should public funds be spent to support artwork that might offend some segment of the general public? Does "concern for the community" justify (self)censorship? What alternative institutional models are emerging in the face of restrictive conditions attached to public funding?
The responses and creative comments of artists and curators worldwide are collected in Power, Taboo and the Artist, an ongoing video project produced by the National Coalition Against Censorship and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
Art Fag City critic and series participant Paddy Johnson calls it, "The most challenging IRL Internet competition of the decade."

Not sure what this place was last year but it is obvious it has changed names. The general condition is shabby, lots of old thread worn carpet, chipped up furniture. Bathroom is ok but you can see the signs of a cheap make over. Not sure if the bed or the floor is softer. "High speed" internet is dead slow currently running at 11kbs. Even for Hotwire's cheap price, this is no bargain. On the plus side, the TV is nice, even if the remote is held together is masking tape and there in a new Tim Horton's right out the back door. Avoid this one.

July 2nd, 2009Do you use RSS
April 26th, 2009RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. It's been around for quite some time, but for some reason, even though I program or install RSS feeds into many of we websites I develop, I had never really used it. Recently I came across a few cool web design blogs I enjoyed reading and decided I'd like to check in on them more often. But, I always forgot the web address or would forget for weeks and when I checked in, there'd be so much posted since the last time I'd checked I'd become overwhelmed. I finally decided to use the RSS on the site and I tied it into my Mac Mail.
Then I became addicted.
Before I new it I was connected to over 5 RSS feeds. They basically show up like an email in it's own box. So when the site has a new post, it'll show up like an email and I can click to read most of the article or if it's a long article, it'll provide me with the direct link to the full article.
It's a really easy way to keep up with the sites you enjoy or learn from. Most mail clients have the ability now, whether Mac Mail, Outlook, MS Mail, or others (Google, Mozilla, etc). You should try it. Actually, if you're reading this from my website, you'll notice in your address bar there's an icon on the far right. Click on that and you can subscribe to this RSS feed!
Happy Syndicating!

The Bengal chit fund scandal
Were elements of the ruling party in West Bengal complicit in the chit fund scheme which swindled thousands of crores from hapless, poor people?
This chat is over. Thanks for joining.
19 questions answered | No question pending
- Do you see financial inclusion as one of the solutions to avoid such scams in future? Whats steps can government take in thsi direction? Asked by: Himayan Das
- Prasenjit Bose Very good point. Financial Inclusion has been a big casualty of the financial liberalization process. Bank branches are being closed down in the rural areas. The solution is to expand the banking system in the public sector and the cooperative sector in the rural and semi-urban areas. The thousands of youth who registered as "agents" of sharadha and other such chit funds are educated unemployed. unless there is economic revival of west bengal, such youth will be misused by vested interests for their nefarious and socially unproductive activities.
- IN my opinion Jangipur is going to repeat in other parts of Bengal because of this. Left has failed after 32 years chance. Trinamool is failing after 2 years chance. BJP may emerge your opinion please Asked by: G. Ramadas
- Prasenjit Bose BJP is a communal party and the majority people of west bengal, who cherish a long held secular and syncretic tradition, will never opt for majoritarian communalism. as far as corruption and the BJP is concerned, why did Nitin Gadkari have to resign? he was doing similar things isn't it? What West bengal needs today is a vibrant and rectified, pro-people Left and Democratic alternative. I am confident of its emergence, sooner or later.
- The alleged letter of Sudipto makes a mention of politicians of all places and shades. Does that strike a bell with IT/RBI & SEBI. They must be readying for a POST MORTEM ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Prasenjit Bose What we need is not a post-mortem but ACTION on 4 areas: 1. Penal action must be initiated against Saradha and all the other companies running these Ponzi schemes. Their properties should be attached and their executives sent to jail. 2. The politicians who have links with these companies should be identified and stripped of their positions, especially if they are elected representatives. MPs like Kunal Ghosh, Srinjay Bose etc. must resign. They should also be prosecuted. 3. The depositors should be compensated (on a case by case basis) and made aware not to fall prey to such Ponzi schemes again. 4. The nexus between real estate mafia and politicians must be broken. That is vitiating our democracy.
- Blade company,Cheating Funds,Ponzi scheme and so on - - all live on the factor of GREED- Is it not the greedy citizens who are to take the blame on themselves for having taken a risk of high nature,knowingly ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Can a Government agency monopolise and take over and conduct the business of chit fund and prevent loot & scoot of private persons ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Prasenjit Bose the properties of all these companies should be attached first. please note that all these "chit fund" companies started as real estate players. then they "diversified" using explicit political patronage. they have been mobilising deposits in violation of all laws, rules and regulations of the RBI/SEBI etc. the depositors have to be compensated by expropriating the ill-gotten wealth of these Ponzi players. Not by raising taxes as the Chief Minister is doing...
- Hi Prasenjit..will this incident have a ripple effect on all the other similar schemes?.you expect more companies to go bust?.. Asked by: JK
- Prasenjit Bose quite possible..there may be contagion.. american leftwing economist Hyman Minsky had a "financial instability hypothesis", where he argued that such Ponzi schemes start proliferating at the peak of a business cycle.. see page 7 of this paper: http://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/wp74.pdf
- As a left economist do you agree thatWest Bengal has traditionally been a FAVOURITE small place for such operators and they had a GOLDEN harvest ,whilst only a few have had a PEERLESS record.? Such few had come to the assistance of the government of the day also ? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Prasenjit Bose well, west bengal has historically been the biggest mobiliser of small savings (post office savings) in India. see page 191 and 192 of the west bengal economic review: http://www.wbfin.nic.in/writereaddata/EconomicReview11_Part2.pdf there has been a sharp drop in public collection of small savings in 2011-12. the figures suggest that around Rs. 9000 cr. of small savings were mobilised by these chit funds from the people in that year (instead of post offices). this should have raised alarm bells earlier..
- Will the investigation report on this scam go up in smoke as and when it gets published.? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Sudipto an Ex naxalite .says a report.Is it true ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- saradhas association with TMC leaders is reported to be even before that of the party becoming a ruling one.. Does that not rule out a complicity and the relationship a friendly one without any complicity to do wrong ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- How badly will this effect TMC's chances in the upcoming polls and also the 2014 elections? Asked by: JK
- Simply, how can this happen without patronage? Asked by: Kelly
- What about other ponzy schemes like MPS, Rose Vally, Sumangal ect...shall we wait till their bubble burst or take some preventive measures? If yes how? Asked by: Sourav
- Prasenjit Bose you are right...see the west bengal based companies named by the union ministry of corporate affairs in this starred LS question: http://220.127.116.11/Annexture/lsq15/13/as244.htm the following groups have been named; action should be immediately initiated against them: https://www.rosevalleyindia.com/aboutus.html http://rahulhirise.co.in/Content.aspx?id=frm http://urogroup.net/index.php?mid=8&pid=5 http://www.prayag.co.in/com_profile.html http://saradhagroup.com/realty/aboutus.php
- Do you think Sudipta Sen would be coerced by the State Police to retract his statement on TMC? Asked by: Ritaja BasuMullick
- Prasenjit Bose i suspect that sudipto sen's statement to the cbi conceals more than it reveals. there are many more persons at high places involved. not merely the ones named in that letter. the truth can only be unearthed if there is an impartial and unbiased inquiry. that is a big thing to expect in our country though.
- Mr. Bose, How can you blame only the Trinamool for this. In my opinion the Left people and the Congress are also involved. I am not a supporter of Trinamool. I agree with Narendramodiji regarding the damage done by Left Rule of 32 Years to West Bengal. Your opinion pleasae ? Asked by: G. Ramadas
- without the direct or indirect abetting of the party in power scam of such magnitude will not happen. what we are seeing is a dirty mudslinging between the parties Asked by: S ESHWAR
- does it need a big economist to analyse and tell that such investments are risky and being taken at the risk and perils on the investors. why in the event of failure do they flock at police station and government for compensation,when the administration had not guaranteed any act of such cheating funds ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Higher level of literacy,more ideology oriented,better thinkers, good at analysis, - - general characters associated with Bongs. Why does it not help in their getting into such mess ?? Asked by: sundar1950in
- Who is responsible for this? Asked by: sridhar gutam
- Prasenjit Bose hi sridhar, i think the main culpability lies with the party in power, i.e. the Trinamul Congress. this telegraph report is quite revealing: http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130425/jsp/frontpage/story_16825376.jsp#.UXj5l7X-El0 the central government also has to be asked why it has failed to act on the complaints so far. as far as the last LF government is concerned, there may have been some lapses on their part too. overall, the anarchy that is going on in the real estate and financial sector of the economy is to be blamed.

So recently my sister and I both got english IDLs, we married our first gens together and have both just started our second (toddler stage) So today when our tamas wake up both hers and mine have the happy birthday banners. Neither of us is born in October, nor do we share the same birthday, so I am wondering if this is a common glitch that others have encountered, and if there is a way to fix it without resetting entirely.
If resetting is the only way to fix it both of us are willing to allow our tamas to think we were born on Oct 25 because neither of us want to lose our progress so far. But I am curious if this has ever happened to anyone else.
Did our IDL-es glitch?

idl english birthday glitch
Posted 25 October 2012 - 09:56 AM ( #2 )
No glitch and nothing to worry about. Each adult character has a birthday and when it happens to be a certain character's birthday, decorations are put up. It's Paintotchi's birthday on October 25th. Keep an eye out because there's typically a birthday animation at 12:30 pm and again at 3:30 pm. I think I've even caught it at 7:30 am at times. You can find the list of birthdays HERE.
On a related note, birthday decorations go up when your birthday (because you entered that date into your Tamagotchi at start-up) rolls around too.

Thanks guys! I'm glad to know its a normal thing and not a glitch on our tamas. I'm still very new to the whole IDL thing and since they were far from cheap I tend to freak out easily. xD
Posted 27 October 2012 - 11:47 AM ( #5 )
I had the same problem, I was like: Huh? It isn't my birthay, why does my tama say happy birthday then? So i searched on the internet why it was acting like that, then I saw a tamagotchi's birthday( I don't remember which one) was on 25 October, and that was the day my tama said happy birthday while it wasn't my birthday. But it's nothing to worry about, you can see an animation at certain times of the day when your tamagotchi says happy birthday, I think there were 3 times on the day that you could see an animation, I think the times were 7:30 AM 3:30 PM but I can't remember the third one.

Local is local. If the wind is coming from west to south to east, there's a bay here at the mouth of the Humber River called "Slumber Bay", because the wind just cacks. Swing it to the north west, however, and the valley funnels it two or three miles out into the lake, and you get a four-mile "fan" of accelerated (sometimes strongly) winds. Throw in a geographical feature like a big island around which a current runs or winds can bend and either die or speed up, and you learn they are predicting for the airport, not the shore, because that is far too dynamic to be predicted until you are out there.

Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Author(s): | Mark Cotta Vaz and Patricia Rose Duignan |
Publisher: | Virgin Publishing, Ltd. (UK) Ballantine Books (US) |
Published: | 24 October 1996 (UK) 1 October 1996 (US) |
Pages: | 330 |
Reference(s): | ISBN 0862871425 (UK) ISBN 0345322630 (US) |
Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm is a reference book that chronicles the second decade of the existence of the visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), spanning the years 1986-1995. Authors Mark Cotta Vaz (expanding upon a host of articles he had written for the magazine Cinefex) and ILM's senior production staffer Patricia Rose Duignan chose to follow the pattern set by Thomas G. Smith, who authored the previous volume Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Special Effects of 1986, organizing contents around the various techniques involving the creation of visual effects, the productions, ILM worked upon during that period, including key visual effects sequences originating from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Star Trek Generations, serving as illustrative backdrops for the texts.
As the title already suggests, ample emphasis was given to the then new technique of computer generated imagery (CGI), which was making a rapid entry into the motion picture industry at the time and to the role ILM was playing as a pioneering company employing the technique, especially in the groundbreaking movie Jurassic Park (1993). Nevertheless, attention was also given to the traditional techniques of creating visual effects, ILM was still employing during the decade.
In presentation too, the format was chosen set by The Art of Special Effects, a high quality bound hardcover coffee-table book, format 30.7×25.7×3.8 cm, in a dust jacket with high resolution full color pictures printed on heavy high gloss paper, making it a true follow-up companion volume to that tome.
- From the book jacket
- The meeting of humans and toons in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The supernatural wonders of Ghostbusters II. The unstoppable liquid-metal T-1000 cyborg of Terminator 2. The incredible lifelike digital dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. The alterations of historical footage that allowed Forrest Gump to shake hands with President Kennedy. The eye-popping histrionics of actor Jim Carrey in The Mask. The thunderous African stampede in Jumanji. These breakthrough visual effects have one thing in common: Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).
- For more than twenty years. George Lucas and the technical wizards at ILM have literally changed the face of moviemaking with their stunning, often unbelievable, visual effects. Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm chronicles ILM's second monumental decade–from 1986 through the midnineties–and includes a special report on the latest groundbreaking visual effects in the 20th Anniversary Special Edition of Star Wars: A New Hope.
- During this seminal period, ILM virtually redefined visual effects and blazed a trail into the digital realm. With more than six hundred lavish full-color photographs, this fascinating book takes you behind the camera and into the rarely seen workshops, offering an amazing look at the men and women who create movie magic. We follow the intricate crafts of matte painting, model making, and optical compositing as they are transferred into digitally driven systems, and we track the contributions of model and creature makers, animation specialists and optical technicians, and the unsung stage hands and pyrotechnic experts.
- Packed with astounding information about ILM's technical innovations and remarkably clear explanations–including a revealing look at ILM's work with TV commercials and theme park attractions, a comprehensive glossary of essential terms, and detailed screen credits for all the company's film projects–this volume will enchant and enlighten all of us who have ever marveled at what we've seen on the screen and wondered: How did they do that?

My experience with James Allen was great from start to finish. My fiancee loved the 3 stone ring which looks even better than what the website showed. I was debating between a few different settings and couldn`t make a final decision so I contacted customer service on the instant web chat and on the phone and they were very helpful and friendly both times and helped me finalize my decision.
(Feb 21, 2012)
This ring is heavenly! As if one diamond isn't enough, this ring has two side stones and a ton of little diamonds on the band! Feel like I'm dreaming every time I look at my finger. Thank you James Allen for making my engagement so special. Much Love, xoxo.

Looking for social media/social anxiety reference material

I know there's a few people with a psych background of some sort and
many readers with a broad net around here so I thought I'd ask: Have
you heard of any research/researchers, articles, books, etc. dealing
with social media and social anxiety? General social psychology with
relation to social media would be useful too.

Verse 1:
Standing in the mirror, not seeing all you say you see
My perspective makes me see myself so differently; Insecure is now my new reality
And I don't want it to show, Afraid of being exposed
It's not the enemy, this time it's the INNER ME
Trying to fight a thought of negative inside of me
Can I win this war? Get past the fear in front of me.
I let my doubts get the best of me
I won't waste no more of my life,
changing how I use to think
There's life beyond my fears, I push beyond my tears
If I could just see myself, the way you see me (repeat 3x)
If I could just see myself, the way you see me
Verse 2:
So much for my life, I couldn't seem to see before
Simply blinded, not realizing God had more
Pursued the wrong things I thought would satisfy me
It left me empty, and now I know
Those stages of my life are over now
My life is clearer, secure in what I am now
I won this war within, I've got my confidence
Those feelings can't get the best of me
You call me beautiful, never felt like this before
Your love You proved to me
I don't have to walk around, with my head hanging down
I'm loving who I am, not a VICTIM anymore
Vamp: I love who I am (2x)
He made me special
(repeat entire vamp 4x )
He made me special (4x)
